The roles of a product owner and a product manager are often used interchangeably, but there are some key differences between the two.

A product owner is typically a member of an agile development team, responsible for defining and prioritizing the product backlog. They work closely with the development team to ensure that the product is meeting the needs of the customer and is delivered on time and within budget. The product owner is also responsible for communicating the vision and strategy of the product to stakeholders and ensuring that the team is aligned with the product goals.

On the other hand, a product manager is responsible for the overall strategy, vision, and roadmap of a product. They work closely with various teams within the organization, such as engineering, design, and sales, to ensure that the product is meeting the needs of the market and achieving business goals. A product manager is also responsible for identifying new market opportunities, conducting market research, and defining the product roadmap.

In summary, the product owner focuses on the day-to-day details of product development, while the product manager takes a more strategic approach to product planning and vision.
